Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 759: Chapter 403 Trial of Bow and Arrow_2

The elder’s face darkened, and a hint of sternness flashed in his eyes.

Clearly, he didn’t believe Gu Sheng’s words at all.

”Elder, listen, listen, this kid is obviously lying.”

”Yes, people like this shouldn’t be in the Supreme Mysterious Sect; it’s truly a disgrace to us!”

”Elder, don’t listen to his nonsense!”

Several other Lingfeng disciples added fuel to the fire.

Angered, the elder’s divine power surged instantly, and he struck out suddenly.

”Then let me help you force out the Spiritual Spring power!”

Before Gu Sheng could react, a powerful spiritual energy was directed straight at him.

However, just as the elder’s spiritual energy was about to touch Gu Sheng, a mysterious force within Gu Sheng suddenly erupted, forming an invisible barrier.

The elder’s power was blocked by this force and couldn’t penetrate.

”Boom!”

After a stalemate lasting three breaths, the elder was instead repelled.

”Thud, thud, thud...”

The powerful force made the elder involuntarily take a few steps back.

”What... this...”

This change shocked everyone present, especially the elder, who looked at Gu Sheng with disbelief, his eyes filled with surprise and re-evaluation.

”How can this be?”

The elder muttered secretly in his heart.

At this moment, Gu Sheng was also bewildered, unable to comprehend the source of this power within him.

But he knew that this power seemed to be protecting him.

The scene fell into a deadlock, and both the elder and other cultivators began to have a new understanding of Gu Sheng.

”Gu Sheng, quickly apologize to the elder.”

Seeing this, Ji Ziyue hurriedly stepped up to persuade him, providing a way out for the elder.

”Oh...”

Gu Sheng snapped back to reality, quickly clasping his hands together in a fist salute: ”Elder, I’m sorry, I’m also puzzled about this power. I think Senior Li on Zhuo Peak should know how to deal with it.”

”Ahem...”

The elder coughed lightly, giving Gu Sheng a deep look, and finally waved his hand helplessly: ”If that’s the case, you should go back and report the matter in full detail to Senior Brother Li.”

”Yes.”

Gu Sheng, knowing he should not speak much more, once again saluted with clasped hands, exchanged a glance with Ji Ziyue, and turned to leave.

At this moment, Gu Sheng felt countless pairs of eyes watching him from behind.

But he didn’t look back, only wanting to quicken his pace to leave Lingfeng as soon as possible.

Ji Ziyue watched Gu Sheng’s back with a complicated expression.

Back at Zhuo Peak, Gu Sheng did not go directly to find Li Ruoyu but went straight to the top of Zhuo Peak.

It was known that at that time, Li Ruoyu had asked Gu Sheng to cultivate and absorb energy there.

”Whew...”

Gu Sheng sat cross-legged, exhaled a long breath, and thought to himself: ”Fortunately, the senior is not here; otherwise...”

”You’re back?”

Just as Gu Sheng’s mind settled, he heard Li Ruoyu’s voice.

”Se... Senior...”

Gu Sheng looked embarrassed.

Li Ruoyu’s figure slowly appeared beside Gu Sheng.

His eyes were deep as if he could see through everything.

”Where did you go?”

Li Ruoyu asked calmly.

Gu Sheng looked at Li Ruoyu, feeling somewhat uneasy.

But he knew that Li Ruoyu didn’t like to talk much, so he wasn’t the type who would beat around the bush.

”Senior, I went to Lingfeng.”

Gu Sheng replied.

”How did it feel?”

”It’s alright... alright, just... just accidentally absorbed the power of the Spiritual Spring.”

”The power of the Spiritual Spring?”

”Yes.”

”Can you control it?”

”No.”

They spoke back and forth.

When Li Ruoyu heard ”the power of the Spiritual Spring,” his face didn’t show any surprise.

He just nodded slightly, seemingly not surprised by Gu Sheng’s answer.

Then, Li Ruoyu waved his hand.

Gu Sheng felt a dizziness, and when he steadied himself again, he found that he was no longer at the top of Zhuo Peak but in a completely different place.

Surrounded by rolling mountains, the sky was a deep blue.

Even the air was filled with a refreshing sensation that relaxed the mind and body.

”What... what’s going on?”

Gu Sheng was startled, realizing that this wasn’t the real world, but an illusion realm set up by Li Ruoyu for him!

He stood in the illusion realm, looking around, trying to find Li Ruoyu’s figure.

But apart from himself, there was no one else around.

Just then, Li Ruoyu’s voice sounded in Gu Sheng’s ear.

”Gu Sheng, this illusion realm is something I’ve arranged specially for you, to train and harmonize the power of the Spiritual Spring within you.”

Li Ruoyu’s voice was calm and profound.

”Train and harmonize?”

Gu Sheng’s heart tightened.

At this moment, he could feel the seriousness and expectation in Li Ruoyu’s words.

”Senior, I will do my best.”

Gu Sheng replied.

”Very well, remember, everything in the illusion realm is real. Complete all trials, and you will receive unexpected rewards.”

Li Ruoyu’s voice came again.

Suddenly, the sky in the illusion realm turned gloomy, and a thunderous rumbling sound echoed from afar.

An invisible pressure began to envelop the entire illusion realm.

Gu Sheng clenched his fists and said quietly in his heart, ”Bring it on!”

”Moo!”

Suddenly, a violent roar came.

A serious look flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes as he saw a giant five-colored bull charging towards him.

The aura of this five-colored bull was strong and aggressive, clearly not an ordinary creature of the illusion realm.

The bull roared as it charged, carrying the force of a storm.

Gu Sheng quickly dodged to avoid the bull’s attack.

”Moo!”

The bull roared again, charging at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng suddenly rallied his divine power, trying to block the attack.

”Boom!”

Their powers clashed, creating a powerful wave in the air.

But because Gu Sheng’s power couldn’t match the bull’s, he was flung back dozens of meters.

”This won’t work; if this continues, I’ll be at a disadvantage.”

Gu Sheng calculated secretly.

Gu Sheng’s eyes quickly scanned the bull’s body, searching for a potential critical weakness.

The five-colored bull was strong and its scales were as hard as iron.

For ordinary attacks, it was like scratching an itch through boots.

But no matter how hard the shell, there is always a weak spot; the key is to find and exploit it.

As Gu Sheng observed closely, his gaze suddenly locked onto the bull’s abdomen.

Due to its physiological structure, that area wasn’t covered by heavy scales.

This might be the bull’s fatal weakness.

Gu Sheng’s heart stirred, and he immediately adjusted his attack strategy.

”Whew...”

He took a deep breath and attempted to gather the power of the Spiritual Spring.

And at that moment, the power of the Spiritual Spring seemed usable!

Immediately, Gu Sheng drew out the power of the Spiritual Spring, forming a longsword.

The sword buzzed in Gu Sheng’s hand as if it could become one with him.

Gu Sheng locked onto the bull’s abdomen, his eyes sharp, and dashed forward.

”Swoosh!”

Gu Sheng’s arm moved like lightning, swinging out a dazzling sword qi.

The sword qi carved a beautiful arc in the air, heading straight for the bull’s abdominal weakness.

”Moo!”

The bull, sensing the threat from Gu Sheng, roared angrily.

Instinctively, the five-colored bull tried to defend with its horns.

However, the sword qi was too fast and pierced directly into the bull’s abdomen.

”Howl...”

The bull let out a heart-wrenching wail and collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

Gu Sheng stood in place, secretly amazed.

”This... this is incredible? The power of the Spiritual Spring is truly extraordinary.”

Surprised, Gu Sheng retracted the power of the Spiritual Spring.

Compared to earlier at Lingfeng, he was now able to fully control the power of the Spiritual Spring.

In the midst of Gu Sheng’s delight, the body of the five-colored bull suddenly transformed into a black bow.

Its bones turned into dozens of black arrows.

”Could this be the reward the senior mentioned?”

Gu Sheng didn’t hesitate and collected the bow and arrows.

He bent the bow and set an arrow, shooting it into the sky of the illusion realm.

The arrow’s tail carried spiritual light as it shot straight towards the sky.

”Swish!”

Gu Sheng’s surroundings changed instantly.

He returned to the top of Zhuo Peak, with Li Ruoyu standing beside him, smiling.

”Senior.”

Gu Sheng, holding the bow and arrows, bowed slightly to Li Ruoyu.
